Intelligent multichannel messaging.

Unique communication strategies for each of your customers

Your customer data. Our communication channels. Better interactions.

We've taken multichannel messaging and made it a lot smarter! By using a combination of our communication channels, we'll help you develop strategies to help you start talking to more of your customers.

What is multichannel messaging?

Multichannel messaging involves the use of several communication channels such as SMS, Voice and Email to get your message across, and in turn, allow customers to respond via their preferred channel.

By offering the customer a choice in how they interact with a business, the chances of a successful communication will increase.

We use your customer data to automatically create tailored communication strategies for each of your customers. Any combination of data can be used to personalise and sort your messages into the channels which best improve the chances of a customer taking the desired action.

Then, based on your customers' interaction with sent messages, we can set up decision engines which determine the type of response and the channel to use.

How can Intelligent Multichannel be used?

Intelligent Multichannel can be used by any organisation looking to increase their customer engagement in a cost effective and intelligent way. We've worked with a wide range of companies; here are some of the projects on which we've worked.

Debt collection within the utility sector

We worked with leading utility provider npower to provide a communication strategy which was intelligent, mobile-first, and facilitated self-serve. We focused on adding convenience to the customer, and also simultaneously reducing their cost to serve.

Our solution employed SMS, Email, Outbound Voice and a bespoke Mobile Journey. We integrated a bespoke decision engine which determined the best communication channel based on contact details, amount owed, and reason for leaving. If the first communication wasn't responded to, then the engine selects an alternative channel and re-attempts contact.

The new intelligent multichannel strategy was a big success. Compared with only 4% of customers making a payment using their previous workflow, npower now enjoy a boosted rate of 19%, with 82% of customers paying the full amount.

Overdue council tax collection

Esendex has worked with a range of councils to develop more innovative and engaging approaches to council tax collection.

With data supplied by the council, Esendex sends an initial SMS to the overdue account holder notifying them how much they owe. Within that same SMS is a link to an automated phoneline and a Mobile Journey - from both of which, payment can be taken.

To make a payment, residents will need their account number. If they don't have it to hand, by texting back with their postcode, Esendex will then text or email them their account number so that they can proceed to the payment stage.

The cost to recover the outstanding debt is significantly reduced, and the added convenience of being able to make a payment on their mobile device increases the likelihood of a payment being made.

What are the benefits?

Added convenience

Allow customers to use mobile-first channels which accommodate switching from email to SMS (for example) during your interactions.

Rapid ROI

By utilising a digital approach when compared to traditional communication methods, cost savings can quickly be achieved.
